#3018 new defect (bug)

Invalid pagination or incorrect page is not giving 404 error

Description

Let say there are 28 topics in a forum and 10 are displayed per page. This means page 3 is the last page.
If there is somewhere a mistake in the theme or I try to go to /page/4 then I would expect a 404 or so (Core is giving a 404!), but no, I'm just getting the 'Oh bother'.

Also some SEO are not so happy about this either as it can create strange loops.

Related: A slightly different case using a deliberate page number known not to exist displays the _lead topic_ followed by the _new reply form_ without error: e.g. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta/page/99999
